Blu Hopkins - Original Traditional & Contemporary Acoustic Music


	The Silvercreek String Band consists of three accomplished musicians. The band performs an eclectic mix of Folk, Blues and Bluegrass and consists of:


	Blu Hopkins, songwriter, guitar, clawhammer banjo, dulcimer, lead and harmony vocals.


	Kelly Hopkins, songwriter, mandolin, acoustic string bass, lead and harmony vocals. Kelly's songs range from rollicking and fun, to heartfelt poignant ballads. Her mandolin compositions are fresh yet traditional sounding tunes that you can't help tapping your foot to, and her warm harmonies combine nicely with Blu's smokey baritone leads.
